Hello new Lemmy friends!
Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.
The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.
Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.
We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!

She’s a pig. I asked my 18 yo son how he’d feel if that were my content and he quite literally said “I’d fucking disown you” 😂
The crazy thing is that the older ones participate in this crap. Not often, but they do.
i wonder if she pays them when they do? like, she really should. they are literally working for her when they participate in videos she shares on her for-profit social media accounts. she could’ve posted the “gift” she received from bk (another place i will now happily boycott!) and then gone to give it to her kid without filming it. idk the whole involvement of the kids is extremely troubling for me, i dont think any of them can meaningfully consent to the roles they have played and the ways they have been exploited by her. but especially now, the way the little one is used. it makes me feel phsycially anxious thinking about those poor kids, honestly. i hope their other parents are solid people who treat them as actual full humans, not means to an end.
All I could think about what this sweet boy walking back to his peers with his grifted BK meal with a prize inside. My inner teenager dumped it all in the garbage can before I even got back into the building. How embarrassing. Imagine calling into the school to get your kid out to film him while you showed this crap off. She doesn’t seem to understand that this is her job and she’s literally dragging her unable to truly consent children into this mess. Now if she regularly meets him and has lunch with him a time or two a week then it would be a fun surprise. But calling the school to get him out and give him a cold soggy burger is 🤮
yes, thank you, this is exactly it! there is a version of a mother surprising her teen son at lunch time that is sweet and thoughtful and loving. and this just isn’t it. i don’t think it’s possible to do something that truly puts the kid first if you're going to post it on socials, but thats just me.
Exactly!! Also it was a freebie!
No she did not?!? Called him out of school for that?! 😵💫 It really shows where her priorities are.
😂 😂 I love his honesty.
